Title: Wrapped R's package system similarly to perlPackages

The R programming language has a package system and a package repository (CRAN). This change adds support for R packages, modelled on the perlPackages expression(s). I have split the R package expressions off into a seperate file r-packages.nix and populated it with a few packages. It is not complete, there are many more packages on CRAN. It may be possible to automatically populate these expressions.
